Suotuo Intermediate Soul Master Academy! Red-Haired Fatty!

"Once you arrive at Shrek Academy, hand this letter of recommendation to the dean, and he will naturally know what to do."

After Yu Xiaogang left the letter and informed Tang Yin of the address for Shrek Academy, he turned and walked away.

Once Yu Xiaogang was gone, Xiao Wu asked, "Tang Yin, are we really going to that Shrek Academy he mentioned?"

"Of course not," Tang Yin asked with a smile. "Did I ever say a single word promising him that I would go to Shrek Academy to study?"

Xiao Wu paused, then let out a mischievous giggle.

Tang Yin continued, "Besides, I know a thing or two about the situation at Shrek Academy. While their teaching staff is strong, they have no campus environment to speak of; they simply rented a village and called it an academy."

"Ah? What kind of academy is that!" Xiao Wu gasped, her face full of shock.

Tang Yin shrugged and continued packing his luggage.

A while later.

The two left Notting Academy side by side, hired a reasonably comfortable carriage, and headed immediately for Suotuo City within the borders of the Bala Kingdom. After two days of bumpy travel, they finally arrived.

In front of the west gate of Suotuo City, the carriage gradually came to a halt, and a handsome young man and a beautiful young woman stepped down.

It was none other than Tang Yin and Xiao Wu.

Tang Yin wore a black-gray fitted outfit. Standing at 1.6 meters tall, his Blue Silver Grass-colored hair and exceptionally handsome features made him quite eye-catching.

Xiao Wu wore a pink-white fitted outfit, her long scorpion braid reaching down to her calves, and she stood at the same height as Tang Yin.

Over the past four years, Xiao Wu had eaten well and exercised regularly, resulting in a perfect figure, especially her long, slender legs.

As soon as the two stepped off the carriage, their pairing drew frequent glances from passersby.

"Finally here!"

"My poor butt feels like it's going to split!"

"I'm never taking a carriage again!"

Xiao Wu pouted her pink lips and said in a delicate voice.

Tang Yin couldn't help but laugh out loud, drawing a resentful glare from Xiao Wu.

Tang Yin couldn't hold back his amusement and said, "We're almost at Suotuo Intermediate Soul Master Academy, just hold on a little longer."

"Tang Yin, I don't want to walk anymore, carry me, okay?" Xiao Wu clung to Tang Yin, acting spoiled.

"Alright, alright, I really can't do anything with you." Tang Yin scanned his surroundings; carrying a girl in public felt genuinely awkward.

But Xiao Wu didn't think so; the moment Tang Yin agreed, she had already leaped onto his back.

Unlike other soul master academies, Suotuo Intermediate Soul Master Academy was built right inside the city.

Tang Yin carried Xiao Wu, wandering through the city while looking for the academy, and soon arrived at the gates.

One could tell the foundation of Suotuo Intermediate Soul Master Academy just by the fact that it was named after "Suotuo."

Of course, this did not mean the teaching staff at Suotuo Intermediate Soul Master Academy was particularly strong.

The dean was merely a Soul Emperor.

It was currently the enrollment period, and with their invitation letter and their own strength, Tang Yin and Xiao Wu completed their registration smoothly.

The academy placed great importance on Tang Yin and Xiao Wu; after all, both were already Soul Grand Masters at only ten years old, so their tuition fees were waived entirely.

"Xiao Wu, the girls' dormitory is over there; your room is Room 5 on the first floor. Tang Yin, come with me, I'll take you to the boys' dormitory." A teacher led Tang Yin and Xiao Wu to the dormitory area.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu frowned and asked, "Teacher, can't I stay in the same dormitory as Tang Yin?"

The teacher froze instantly, his gaze toward Tang Yin turning strangely subtle.

Tang Yin hurriedly covered Xiao Wu's mouth and said with an awkward smile, "Teacher, please don't misunderstand. It's just that Xiao Wu and I were both Work-Study Students at our previous academy, and Work-Study Students don't have separate dorms for boys and girls."

The teacher nodded in realization, "Student Xiao Wu, our dormitories here are separated by gender. Each room houses two people, and the environment is very good, so you can rest assured."

Xiao Wu pouted and said, "Fine~"

"Xiao Wu, you go ahead, I'll come find you in a bit," Tang Yin said with a smile.

Xiao Wu whispered, "Then come find me quickly, I'm still hungry~"

Tang Yin nodded with a smile.

After Xiao Wu left, he followed the teacher to the door of his own room, Dormitory 10.

"You'll be staying here alone for now, how does it feel?" the teacher asked with a smile.

"It's quite good," Tang Yin nodded in satisfaction.

"Very well, here is the key, keep it safe. Classes don't start for a few days, so you can walk around and get familiar with the environment." The teacher finished speaking and turned to leave.

Tang Yin looked around the dormitory, took his daily necessities out of his Soul Tool and quickly unpacked, then closed the door and went to the girls' dormitory building to find Xiao Wu.

A moment later, Tang Yin arrived in front of Room 5 on the first floor of the girls' dormitory, just in time to see Xiao Wu sitting alone on her bed, staring blankly in boredom.

"Xiao Wu!" Tang Yin called out with a smile.

Hearing that incredibly familiar voice, Xiao Wu looked up excitedly, "Tang Yin, you finally came! My stomach was already growling!"

"Let's go! We're going out for a big meal!" Tang Yin laughed.

"Yay!" Xiao Wu hopped over to Tang Yin's side in excitement.

Having just arrived in a major city like Suotuo City, Xiao Wu was incredibly curious about everything around her, frequently glancing sideways to take in her surroundings.

Tang Yin was equally generous; whatever Xiao Wu liked, he would buy for her.

Over these past four years, the wages at the Blacksmith Shop had gradually increased, and when combined with the Soul Master subsidies issued by the Martial Soul Hall—which provided ten Gold Soul Coin per month for a Soul Grand Master—they had managed to save quite a bit of money after daily expenses, all to ensure they could live comfortably in this big city.

In front of a restaurant that looked quite beautiful from the outside, Tang Yin and Xiao Wu paused to look it over, and after a moment, the two exchanged a smile and stepped inside.

The first-floor dining hall was already filled with people eating, so Tang Yin and Xiao Wu found a spot in the corner, sat down, and began to order.

"Wow!"

"I've never even seen these dishes in Nuoding City; they must be delicious!"

Xiao Wu studied the menu, licking the corner of her mouth.

"Beauty, order whatever you want to eat, it's on me." A chubby, red-haired youth spoke, his already narrow eyes squinting until they were almost invisible.

Tang Yin shifted his gaze away from Xiao Wu and looked in surprise at the red-haired fat boy who had leaned in.

"Little fatty, you want to hit on the girl I like right in front of me?"

"Aren't you being a bit too arrogant?"

Tang Yin's blunt words not only made the red-haired fat boy frown but also left Xiao Wu stunned.

"Big mouth! Was I talking to you?"

"Why are you cutting in?"

The red-haired fat boy squinted at Tang Yin, curling his lip in disdain.

"It seems no one ever taught you how to spell the word 'politeness,' so in that case, I'll be merciful and teach you myself!" Tang Yin's tone turned cold as he raised his left hand high and brought it down with force.

In an instant.

A Forging Hammer resembling his Mutated Clear Sky Hammer martial soul suddenly appeared in his hand.

Tang Yin struck with great decisiveness.

There wasn't even any warning.

The massive hammer head stopped abruptly an inch from the red-haired fat boy's nose, but the force of the hammer's wind slammed into his face.

"Gulp!"

The red-haired fat boy's face turned pale in an instant, cold sweat pouring down his forehead and cheeks.
